The Egyptian environment in the novel by Muhammad Hussein Heikal

Abstract

The novel is a formation of life, and this formation depends on the events of people through characters interacting with the events and the medium in which these events revolve and eventually reach a social or philosophical result in the human environment.The innate needs of man as he transmits this need to the outside world in different ways, the most complete of which was the narration of events through language . The relationship of the novel with human issues is not a partial relationship, as the human being is not only part of the narrative narrative, but the relationship between them is based on unity and unification.In all of this: in the subject and subtraction, in the discourse and vision, in the portrayal of characters, and in the narration of events; Which makes us assert that the novel is a reflection of the human being in his movements and stillness, and his problems and dreams in the environment. By man, we mean the individual: his mind and heart, his behavior and activity, his relationships and his thoughts; We also mean the collective man, in his relationship with: society, people, clan and family.No person lives without a social environment, unless he chooses to distance himself, and live alone, torn by loneliness, ravaged by worries, shunned by his group, rejected by his relatives. The life of Muhammad Hussain Heikal (1888-1956) can shed light on the circumstances of the emergence of the novel in Egypt, in the field of linking national sentiment with the emergence of the Arab novel.He is one of the first to express a clear expression of the Egyptian character. The main objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive view of the most prominent humanitarian issues in terms of the environment that the Egyptian Arab novel tackled in its course.It relies on looking at the Arab novel in a holistic way; It examines the commonalities between Arab novelistic creations, taking into account spatial diversity and environmental specificity. Keywords: the novel, the environment, humanitarian issues, the narrative narrative, the particular environment, portraying the Egyptian character
